Coolaire Consolidated, Inc.’s
kitchen suppression systems is an automatic,
pre-engineered system, that is cartridge operated and
regulated pressure type with a fixed nozzle agent
distribution network designed to protect ventilating
equipment including hoods, ducts, plenums, filters and
the cooking equipment. Once activated, the system
discharges wet chemical through all nozzles
simultaneously.
The system is capable of automatic detection and
actuation and/or remote manual actuation. Additional
equipment is available for mechanical or electrical gas
line shut-off applications. |
 The
detection portion of the fire suppression system allows
for automatic detection by means of specific alloy
treated fusible links, which, when the temperature
exceeds the rating of the link, the link separates,
allowing the regulated release to actuate. A system
owner's guide is available containing basic information
pertaining to system operation and maintenance. A
detailed technical manual is also available including
system description, design, installation, recharge, and
maintenance procedures, plus additional equipment
installation and resetting instructions which
Coolaire Consolidated, Inc. personnel
can orient you with.
The basic system consists of a regulated release
assembly which includes a regulated release mechanism
and a wet chemical storage tank housed within a single
enclosure. Nozzle blow-off caps, detectors, cartridges,
agent, fusible links, and pulley elbows are supplied in
separate packages in the quantities needed for fire
suppression system arrangements.
The kitchen suppression system suppresses fire by
spraying at the plenum area and filters, cooking
surfaces and the exhaust duct system with a
predetermined flow rate of the liquid agent. When the
liquid agent is discharged onto a cooking appliance
fire, it cools the grease surface and reacts with the
grease (saponification) forming a soap like foam on the
surface of the fat. This layer acts as an insulation
between the hot grease and the atmosphere, thus helping
to prevent the escape of combustible vapour.
